One of things we have been planning to improve in PrimeFaces 3.0 is the fileUpload, as of 2.2.x, only flash based uploads are supported. Although flash can provide rich functionality, it causes various side effects like session tracking, dependency to flash plugin and issues with ajax updates. So I've reimplemented fileUpload for 3.0 with two modes. Simple mode is what you get with native browser input type="file" upload and other is advanced mode powered by HTML5....

Yesterday I've blogged about my PrimeFaces session being rejected by JAXConf/JSFSummit and my decision to withdraw(I've deleted that entry not to keep such a negative one on my blog). After emailing several times with organizers (Kito and Claudia), they have explained me the situation. Turns out PrimeFaces was selected in initial sessions but not added due to uncertainty about covering my travel expenses since Turkey to US is an expensive flight and most other speakers are...

It has been a week and a half since the PrimeFaces User's Guide is out and sales are close to my expectations. I was expecting 500 per month and it is around 300 at the moment. Thanks to everyone who purchased the guide and supported us. PrimeFaces is not backed by vendors like JBoss or Oracle but it has never been a problem, I think PrimeFaces can go head to head with their products. With your...

Some time ago, I joined a web conference with friends from SpringSource to discuss a JSF - PrimeFaces add-on for Spring Roo. Idea is to generate rich user interfaces with PrimeFaces in your Roo powered application. The JSF 2.0 add-on has a popular entry in Roo JIRA (ROO-516), it is actually one of the most voted requests in Roo community.
I'm glad to announce that PrimeFaces is the selected library by the Roo team so the add-on...

PrimeFaces 3.0 development has started fast and furious, I'd like to introduce our first new component, ScrollPanel. It is used to display overflowed content with theme aware cross browser scrollbars instead of browser dependent scrollbars. Button scrolling, custom effects and client side api are notable features. This component is built on top of wijmo superPanel with PrimeFaces extensions. Check out the online demo to see scrollPanel in action at our new labs showcase.
